Roller garage doors with vision and vent laths in Richmond

Most single domestic roller doors are fitted in a day once the door has been made, including removing the old door. Wider doors, conversions that need building work and jobs where power has to be run can take longer; the quote says what to expect.

Replacing a garage door is not usually development that needs planning permission in England, and widening the opening needs building control approval. If you live in a listed building, a conservation area or on an estate with covenants or planning conditions, check before ordering.

Yes. Every door price includes removing and disposing of an old roller or up-and-over door at your Richmond address, along with standard fixings and making good to the reveals. If the frame or lintel needs work, we price it at the survey before you agree.

That depends on how often you use the garage. An electric door opens from the car with a remote and has safety devices fitted, while a manual door costs less and suits occasional use. We price both for your Richmond garage so you can compare.

Vision and vent laths are built into the curtain when a new door is made, which is why we offer them as an extra on new doors. Changing laths in an existing curtain depends on finding compatible laths for that door, so if you want daylight or ventilation in your current garage, it's usually simplest to plan them into a replacement door.

Vent laths have openings by design, so some air movement comes with them, and in very wet, windy weather a little moisture may get in. If you store things that must stay completely dry, keep them away from the door. Think about where the vent laths sit in the curtain, and discuss it at the survey before you decide.
